21. Partial fencing around a yard that keeps an escaped chicken from really escaping.22. Bennet isn't afraid to catch such a chicken.23. Neighbors all use their air conditioning and haven't noticed the crowing of that particular chicken, who is almost certainly a rooter, not a hen like we thought.

24. Husband's coming home after a bit away for work.25. Restaurants to celebrate such a return.26. The financial gift to do such a thing.27. Brainwashing that's so effective the kids had no concept of a restaurant! 28. Picnics, which would have been our normal special outing. ("Mommy, you forgot to bring the food!")29. After a couple of weeks without a husband, a day with only dishes, laundry, chicken care, cooking, cleaning and a two-hour appointment felt really low-key. It's all about perspective.30. The rhythm of my husband's snoring. So calm and relaxing.
